I have installed xdvd (the patch, daemon tools, vlc, etc..) and I think it does not launch the batch file (and am wondering if I missed something obvious - like the "allow batch files" checkbox) (I know I know, never that easy).

Using GBPVR from the computer console, picking VOBs and trying to play them has no discernable effect.
However, if I try to run the ARMAAN VOB_02_01.vob from within GBPVR (nothing happens) but then I launch, by hand:

C:\Progra~1\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe --sout=# transcode{acodec=mpga,ab=128,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ps,ur
l="i:\dvd.mpg"}} dvdsimple://I:\DVDDecrypter\ARMAAN\video_ts\VTS_02_1.VOB :dvdna
v-caching=7000 --sout-ffmpeg-strict 1 -I dummy --dummy-quiet --one-instance

...it counts to 150 (in chunks) and starts playing.
If I change playmvpdvdfiles.bat to contain only:

echo %1 %2 %3 >> c:\output.txt

...no c:\output.txt file is ever created.

...so I think that the batch does the right thing but gbpvr never causes it to launch.

Thanks for your thoughts.

OK, so on sub's side of the world it's already into mid afternoon of New Year's Day and at the opposite end of the time-zones it's still a way to go before midnight....

...and here in the UK we're already over 3 hours into 2007 so I'm a little late with this anyway.

Just to wish a Happy New Year to one and all, and all the best for 2007.

Cheers,
Brian

3:32am on New Year's morning and I'm not drunk - I must be getting old. 20 years ago? Now that would be another story.

I've installed mencoder for windows, not with the gui. in zprocess I've pointed it at the mencoder.exe file but when I try to choose preferred decoder the drop box only shows ffmpeg

I noted in the video library for several episodes I have in order they are listed as:

1.
10.
11.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.

While I could add a 0 in front of the single digit items, it's be nice if GB PVR would do proper "smart" numbering.

If your recording server is running 24/7 anyway, why not put it to good use?

I run Folding@home on all my computers. This Stanford University project uses spare CPU cycles to analyze protien "folding", Misfolding of protiens is a key contributor to many diseases. F@H runs at a low priority, so that recording quality will not be affected.

Here's the link.

anyway to prevent computer from going into standby while recording a show? i'm using a family computer w/ multiple computers. sometimes, one person may forget that a show's recording and click start-->shutdown-->standby. seems like that messes up the recording on resume or freezes gbpvr. any way to prevent manual standby?

Have a Haup 500 that I've configured channels with zap2it. But missing channels from line-up.Some in the 30's and skips form 40 to 70. i do tuning assistant and these channels are there.I've established recording source twice. Still can't get the channels. Is there a default that needs to be reset?537magspc@comcast.net

I am currently running v99.5 on a P4 2.53ghz (533 bus) with 1 gig mem ddr266, PNY GeForce 6200 AGP, Vbox Cats-Eye DTA-150.

I have been having a few issues with the processor running high during some HD recording/playback and the audio drops out several times along with a little video stutter.

What would be the most productive upgrade. A Newer AGP Video card (6600 or 7300...7600 is too much $$$) or going to 2.8ghz (800 bus). I want to get the HD stuff a little better without spending a bunch of money. I am looking to go to an AMD PCIE system hopefully soon, so no sense going crazy with this system I currently have.

For the last couple of days all of my recordings have not work. The audio in them stutters and is barely understandable.

This doesn't happen watching live TV. But, it will happen if I try and record live TV while I'm watching it.

It may have started after I upgraded to 99.5.

I see that there are many options for audio renderers and decoders in config.exe. Should I try different ones? I have tried a few and it doesn't help. Since it appears to be a recording issue do I look at the renderers?

When I open the .mpg file in Gspot, I get nothing under the "Audio", section. Codec and Stat are blank.

Note: the video seems just fine.

New to Forum and testing out gppvr. Looks liek agreat program so far and dying to find out more about it.

Is it possible to choose what menu buttons appear when accessing your Video Library?

There are some buttons that do not pertain to Playing a video for me like 'Shuffle' 'PlayAll' 'Transcode'.

ANy Ideas?:confused:
